I've noticed that the popcorn look, with the solid border around it, is probably the Refractor parallel. It's definitely a slightly different card stock than just the normal base prospects.

Watched the beckett box buster and he said it was an x fractor they also agree on it being a very confusing product

Not just confusing but a very boring break too. Hopefully Finest will be better

RE: Breaking down bowman plat.
I've opened a few blaster boxes and I think I'm just as confused as everyone else. I've pulled several prospects with the 'popcorn' background (thinking these are the regular refractors), then I pulled one yesterday, same 'popcorn' background but it also has some sort of 'holographic squares' design over the 'popcorn' (not serial #'d). I was thinking this was the X-Fractor...am my mistaken?
Also, the 3 parallels that come in the Wal Mart value hanging 3 pack...these are the Purple Refractors, yes?

Yes those are the purples. Not as rare or valuable as the other colors.

RE: Breaking down bowman plat.
Popcorn = Refractor
Little Squares = Xfractor
Neither of these are serial numbered. Just parallels.
